Force and Motion

What is the formula to calculate net force?

• Net Force = F1 / F2 / F3 / ...

• Net Force = ΣF = F1 + F2 + F3 + ...

• Net Force = F1 x F2 x F3 x ...

• Net Force = F1 - F2 - F3 - ...

When forces are balanced, what is the overall effect on an object's motion?

• The object will maintain its current state of motion.

• The object will stop moving

• The object will accelerate indefinitely

• The object will change direction

How can you determine the direction of the net force when multiple forces are acting on an object?

• Divide the forces by the number of objects

• Choose the force with the highest magnitude

• Calculate the vector sum of all individual forces to determine the direction of the net force.

• Ignore all forces except the largest one

Explain the concept of frictional force and its effect on motion.

• Frictional force slows down or stops the motion of an object by creating resistance between the object and the surface it is moving on.

• Frictional force causes objects to float

• Frictional force has no effect on motion

• Frictional force increases the speed of an object

What type of force is required to overcome frictional force?

• Applied force

• Magnetic force

• Gravitational force

• Frictional force

In which scenario will an object accelerate: when the net force is zero or when there is an unbalanced force?

• when there is an unbalanced force

• when the net force is zero

• when the object is at rest

• when the object is in motion at a constant speed
